+# !! Attention, this is a hack of a hack, do not try this at home !!
+# This is done because website_quote defines the website_description
+# field which is also defined by website_sale, but these two modules
+# are independent of each other, the part of the ORM that generates
+# xmlids does not support this case therefore it only creates a single
+# pair of xmlids for whichever module is installed first, therefore
+# when uninstalling any of the two modules the website_descripion field
+# will be deleted from the db and the other module won't be able to
+# use this field, resulting in a crash and data-loss.
+# See opw-776464 for more details.
+#
+# This is hotfixed by overriding the unlink method so as to not delete
+# the website_description field if website_quote is uninstalled, it's
+# an ugly hack but it works and big changes can't be done to the ORM
+# in stable versions, Odoo v12+ will properly fix this
